The expression equivalent to the total distance Rhonda drove is 51x = 275
Given:
Distance 1:
Number of miles = 51 miles
Number of hours = 5 hours
Distance 2:
Number of miles = 55 miles
Number of hours = x hours
<em>Ratio of miles to number of hours</em> = 51 miles : 5 hours
<em>Ratio of miles to number of hours</em> = 55 miles : x hours
Equate the ratios
51 : 5 = 55 : x
51/5 = 55/x
cross product
51 × x = 5 × 55
51x = 275
x = 275 / 51
x = 5.392156862745098
Approximately,
x = 5.4 hours
Therefore, the number of hours taken to travel 55 miles is 5.4 hours

To get the value of DK we use proportionality:
AK/EK=BK/KD
thus plugging the values we get:
14/17=7/KD
getting the reciprocal of getting both sides we have:
17/14=KD/7
thus
KD=17/14×7
KD=8.5
thus
Answer:
There was a increase of 1.7% over these three years
Step-by-step explanation:
Multipliers:
For a decrease of a%, we multiply by:
For a increase of a%, we multiply by:
What was the percentage increase/decrease of groundhogs over these three years?
Decrease of 12%(multiplication by 0.88).
Increase of 6%(multiplication by 1.06).
Increase of 9%(multiplication by 1.09).
After these three years:
0.88*1.06*1.09 = 1.017
1.017 - 1 = 0.017
0.017*100% = 1.7%
There was a increase of 1.7% over these three years
